Questions

What is the AI for the Win MCP server?

Build AI-powered security tools. 50+ hands-on labs covering ML, LLMs, RAG, threat detection, DFIR, and red teaming. Includes Colab notebooks, Docker environment, and CTF challenges.

What tools does AI for the Win expose?

10 in total: 9 read-only, 1 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is AI for the Win safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (35/100) and found 13 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does AI for the Win need?

It reads ABUSEIPDB_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, API_KEY, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, ELASTIC_API_KEY, ELASTIC_PASSWORD, GOOGLE_API_KEY, MISP_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, OTX_API_KEY, SHODAN_API_KEY and TEST_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does AI for the Win run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as project-frontend at 1.0.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (2b49c08f40b7), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
